Evening: Landscape with an Aqueduct is an 1818 landscape painting by the French artist Théodore Géricault.Crow p.177Tinterow p.52Noon & Bann p.194-95

It was one of three monumental landscapes showing various times of the day (a planned fourth was not produced). Géricault combines a view of the aqueduct of Spoleto which he had visited in 1817, with the stormy skies and turbulent moods of the developing romantic movement.Masterpieces of European Painting, 1800-1920, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
